.TH GRUN 1x "Jan 15, 1999" "gRun Version 0.9.22"
.SH NAME
gRun \- X/GTK based application launcher.
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBgRun\fP [\fIfilename\fP] [-v] [--version] [-h] [--help]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBgRun\fP launches applications in X Windows without the need for an \fBxterm\fP session at all. \fBgRun\fP provides three methods
of launching applications, entering the command directly into the text field, browsing the tree for the application and running an
application specified on the command line. In all cases \fBgRun\fP exits completely after launching the application and the
application is left running as a full child of the X process, as if it were launched from a WM menu. If \fBgRun\fP is launched from
an \fBxterm\fP or shell, the shell will be freed for further use after \fBgRun\fP exits. No more wasting an \fBxterm\fP for the duration
of the application.
.P
\fBgRun\fP will attempt to complete a command automatically from the history as it is typed in, hopefully saving some time. Pressing
the Tab key will try to find an executable file in the path that starts with the characters already entered into the entry box.
.P
\fBgRun\fP also includes a facility for checking if the command is in a list of console mode apps, eg \fBtelnet\fP. If it finds the
command in the file, \fBgRun\fP launches a \fBxterm\fP with the command as the \fB-e\fP parameter.
.P
\fBgRun\fP now has a facility for associating file extensions with a command, ala Windows. If an extension is found, the associated
application is launched with the command entry as the parameter.
.SS Options
